Banjar – Agus Sopiyan (58), a resident of Randegan Hamlet, Raharja Village, Purwaharja District, Banjar City, died horribly, Sunday (24/9/2023) afternoon. The perpetrator is suspected to be a foreign citizen (WNA) from the United States with the initials ALW (35) who is the victim’s son-in-law. The perpetrator allegedly stabbed his father-in-law using a sharp object such as a knife.
“Yes, I received a report from residents, the foreigner came here. Then the foreigner stabbed the man-in-law. The victim was in the house behind,” said Raharja Village Head Yayat Ruhiyat to reporters.
Yayat admitted that he did not know the chronology of the incident. He went to the scene after receiving reports from residents.
According to Yayat, previously, the American foreigner also vandalized his in-laws’ house. The victim’s family has also reported it to the police.
“It’s true that he did damage. The newspaper was named Agus. The perpetrator has the identity we have, a foreign citizen from America, California,” he said.
After this incident, the American foreigner was immediately detained by the Banjar Police. Meanwhile, the victim’s body was taken to Banjar Regional Hospital for examination.
Yayat said he did not know the exact reason why the perpetrator stabbed the victim. However, according to information from residents, this right occurred because there was a misunderstanding regarding the business carried out by the foreigner.
“The report we received was triggered by a trivial matter. It was also suspected that it was because of the character of the foreigner himself,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sidik Nur Abidin, the victim’s neighbor, explained that the foreigner suddenly came to his in-laws’ house in a car. Then when he saw his in-laws, he immediately stabbed him.
Residents hit the perpetrator on the back using a gantar (long stick) to stop the action, but it didn’t work. The perpetrator then went to his house.
“Using some kind of dagger, not even a kitchen knife. At that time a resident hit him on the back but it didn’t work. Then he went home and showered, when he came out he was in good clothes again,” he said.
Sidik said that after vandalizing the victim’s house last Sunday, the perpetrator went to Pangandaran. However, when the American foreigner returned, he stabbed him.
“It happened behind the house, during normal farming, but the residents couldn’t help because they were using knives,” he said.
The stabbing case is now being handled by the Banjar Police. The police have investigated the crime scene and arrested the perpetrator. The police have not provided an official statement regarding the incident.
